Two suspects in the murder of 29-year-old Chicago Police Officer and brand-new mother, Ella French, have been arrested. Officer French was murdered during a traffic stop in the increasingly violent city of Chicago over the weekend.

Post Millennial – 29-year-old Ella French, an officer with the Chicago Police Department, lost her life on Saturday night after a confrontation with three armed suspects. Her partner, who also suffered serious injuries, remains hospitalized. She had just returned from maternity leave.

The two Chicago PD officers were shot on the Southside on Saturday evening. According to a statement by the CPD, the shooting occurred around 9:10 P.M, near the 6300 Block of South Bell Avenue. The shooting occurred during a routine traffic stop on three people in a vehicle, First Deputy Police Superintendent Eric Carter said at a press conference.

Both officers were transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center in serious-to-critical condition, where unfortunately, the 29-year-old French succumbed to her injuries.

The two main suspects who’ve been arrested for her murder are two brothers who are currently on probation for previous crimes.

The Chicago Police Department announced their arrests during a press conference tonight. “The young woman that was in the car with the two brothers has not been charged,” they said, referring to a third suspect who was in the car with the two brothers.

Crime in Chicago is rapidly increasing while Democrats continue to call for defunding the police.
